New Video Card & Some Random Shots

Postby Iroquois » Mon Jul 14, 2003 3:59 pm

I finally got my GeforceFX 5200 today. I installed it and I noticed a huge jump in image quality. Frames are also slightly better. I didn't really change any settings for FS2002 or CFS3 (to improve frame rates) but I can now run Jedi Outcast at full sliders. After some adjustments on the drivers with RIVA Tuner, FS2002 started to look much better. Still needs some more adjustments but I'll save thoes shots for a part 2. Anyway here are some random shots.

The Cessna 172 looks almost real. Here it is taking off from Burlington Airpark in Burlington Ontario. This shot over looks the Niagera Escarpment.

Here is Project Airbus' A320 in US Airways livery. It's taking off from US Airways hub at Charlotte/Douglas Int'n. The scenery is addon.
Image

Here is a view of Project Opensky's Gmax 747 in British Airways livery. The plane is at Heathrow, awaiting to fly off to some distant land.
Image

Here we see Project Mach2's Concorde taking off from Kennedy to Charles De Gaule.

Lastly here is the new Gmax A6M Zero flying over Kansai Int'n. This scenery is the most complex freeware addon I have ever seen and a real frame killer, even for the FX.

I'll post some shots of CFS3, Orbiter, and X-Wing Alliance sometime soon.

Orenda, is that the 128 meg or the 256?  I am getting the 256 version...  Looks beautiful.

GEFORCE :o
A very nice collection you have here... But I think you should have taken the British Airways one, from another point of view, because this seems to be a bad part of the airport.

Anyway, nice shots!  ;D
